Child & adolescent podiatry

Routine foot and lower limb screening is an ideal way to review your child's movement as they grow and develop. 

We can provide accurate measurement and advice about the best footwear for your child in their chosen activity. We can often pair this with simple modifications, such as padding and wedges, to make them more comfortable. If required, we can also use an appropriate orthotic to help your child. 

We can provide appropriate exercises and activities to help your child rehabilitate and prevent injuries. This involves a combination of play based and more formal exercises, dependant on age and condition treated.
